Residential Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new single-family and multi-family residential construction and any work regulated by the adopted 2021 IRC / 2024 IBC that is not exempt under IBC/IRC Sec. 105.2 (e.g., carpeting, painting, wallpapering, cabinets, countertops are exempt; drywall work generally requires a permit). Park City's fee is valuation-based (0.61% of total construction valuation) rather than a tiered table, plus a mandatory plan-check deposit and 65% plan-check fee.

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Fee (Single-Family / Multi-Family / Commercial) | 0.61% of total valuation of construction, minimum fee $83.00, plus 1% state surcharge | Park City Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) § 1.2.2 'Building Permit.' Total valuation is calculated from the actual value of construction, excluding the value of on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water). |
| Plan Check Deposit | $500.00 (residential buildings); $2,000.00 (commercial buildings) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(1): non-refundable deposit required at time of building permit application for buildings requiring plan checks; forfeited if permits are not issued. |
| Plan Check Fee | 65.0% of the building permit fee for that building (or $83.00/hour of Community Development staff time for 'identical plans' as defined in the Fee Schedule) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(2). |
Electrical Permit
VerifiedRequired for electrical work in Park City not incidental to a covered building permit. Fee is valuation-based (1.32% of construction valuation) rather than a flat per-Utah-municipality rate. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this general Electrical Permit; the currently effective Fee Schedule (10/20/2025) excludes only on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) from the building-permit valuation base, and does not list a separate EV-charger fee exemption. Park City's Environmental Sustainability program has separately advertised (in older, no-longer-live outreach pages) that 'building permit fees for installing EV charging equipment... are waived' — but this is not reflected in the current codified Fee Schedule, so it is noted here for transparency rather than applied as a guaranteed fee waiver.

Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new commercial building construction, commercial shell buildings, and ground-up commercial additions in Park City, regulated by the adopted 2024 IBC. Park City bills the Commercial Permit at the same valuation-based rate as residential construction (0.61% of total valuation) per Fee Schedule § 1.2.2, but requires a larger, $2,000 non-refundable Plan Check Deposit (vs. $500 for residential buildings) given the added complexity of commercial plan review, plus the standard 65% Plan Check Fee. Properties within Park City's Historic District (Old Town / Main Street) additionally require Planning Department Historic Design Review before or alongside building permit issuance.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
VerifiedRequired for interior tenant improvement / tenant finish work in existing commercial buildings in Park City — build-outs, remodels, and finish work for a new or changing tenant space. Park City's official Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) does NOT list 'Tenant Improvement' as a distinct fee category separate from new commercial construction: this was confirmed by direct full-text extraction of the entire 48-page Fee Schedule PDF, which lists exactly three line items under § 1.2.2 'Building Permit' — Single-Family Permit, Multi-Family Permit, and Commercial Permit — with no fourth tenant-improvement or remodel-specific tier (unlike, e.g., Sandy or Murray's fee schedules, which do itemize a separate Tenant Improvement rate). TI work in Park City is therefore billed under the same valuation-based Commercial Permit rate (0.61% of the valuation of the TI scope of work) as ground-up commercial construction, plus the same $2,000 Plan Check Deposit and 65% Plan Check Fee.
